Default Re: Where I'm at with my build!

Did you primer the body before hitting it with the paint? That could be one issue with it peeling?

Even after a good cleaning I've seen a lot of tamiya bodies with paint issues from the chemicals used to make the plastic causing adhesion issues. It basically seeps to the surface and causes peeling or fish eyes etc, normally a light sanding and coat of primer will take care of it. I learned the hard way on a tundra body that peeled right off like it was a piece of cling wrap. It was actually pretty cool because it sort of stayed in shape and I had a partial mold...lol

Also did you get the resistors to go along with the led lights, depending on how to want to wire them you'll need a few different resistors for each group of leds for he correct voltage drop so they don't burn up. I'm sure me of us can help out once we know exactly what you have.
